    Beef Enchiladas
    Dorian W.

    Elenas is a Beaumont classic restaurant offering all your favorite Tex-Mex dishes. I have been eating here since I was kid and the food and quality has remained the same! This family owned restaurant has stood the test of time, and if you're ever in the South East Texas area you should add this to your list of places to try On this visit, I had the Super Nachos that consist of seasoned ground beef, chili con queso, lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded cheese. These should be called the mountain nachos because they pile the toppings a mile high. One of my favorite nachos I've ever had! 5/5 My boyfriend got the beef enchiladas and he head not disappointed! He said the Tex-Mex gravy had freest flavors and the beans were seasoned just right. 4/5 Last but not least is the complimentary salsa offered to you as soon as you take a seat. This salsa is so good good you could inhale it with a straw. If you're a fan of non chunky salsa this is the holy grail of salsa for you! 5/5

    The corn and green beans made me give this place a higher rating. What an excellent surprise and the fajitas are excellent but the queso is never the same for me, the Margaritas are unbearable (I almost fest as is they doused it with sweet and sour) and the service is not always great but I still adore this place and the College location. You have to try the corn and green beans.

    They don't want to sell a lot of margaritas, unless it's Tuesday night. While they are good drinks, the price tag for one is on the higher side (almost laughable) for similar establishments. There's nothing about it that merits the $6 price mark. Now on TUESDAYS they become $1.95 so have at it then, otherwise don't waste your time running up a bill. Food wise I have nothing bad to say. I also have nothing remarkable either. It's played pretty safe with low seasoning and high cheese ratio. There are better places, but they're are worse places, again I wouldn't bother drinking a couple here unless it was Tuesday.

Coming from Houston, my expectations were kind of high, but Tacos La Bamba greatly exceeded expectations! 10/10 would recommend! I don't come to Beaumont often so I knew I wanted to support a local spot for lunch. Tacos were on my mind so this was an easy choice based on other's reviews. I ended up trying all 5 of their meats on tacos. They had beef asada, pork carnitas, al pastor, barbacoa, and chicken. Corn tortillas are a must for me and cilantro/onions are a necessity. What was surprising was also their red/green salsas. Both made in house, the green was a little spicy and fresh, while the red was smoky and complex. Then to wash it all down, I had their refreshing horchata as well. Tacos La Bamba seems like a Beaumont staple. They had a good lunch crowd with quick service. The interior is very colorful with a beautifully painted "Dia de los Muertos" animal theme. I will 100% come back whenever I'm in Beaumont again, cheers! PS. They have a little outdoor patio area too if the weather is nice.
